A registered process server who made multiple attempts at personal service may proceed with substituted service under Code of Civil Procedure § 415.20. Here, the registered process server, George Craig (#2019267578), signed under penalty of perjury that he made multiple attempts to serve the defendant personally before proceeding with substituted service. On the third attempt to serve, the registered process server provided the documents to a woman at the premises, who answered the door, provided a physical description, took the paperwork, and refused to provide the registered process server with her name.

California Evidence Code Section 647 creates a rebuttable presumption that a proof of service signed by a registered process server is true. It shifts the burden of proving lack of service to the defendant, rather than requiring the plaintiff to prove proper service. Here, registered process server Justin Martin (2655) declared under penalty of perjury that he personally served Ms. Vickers on Thursday, May 14, 2026, at 8:39 PM (ROA 10) and Ms.
